Story
If you are looking for the stereotypical dachshund-intelligent, silly, snuggly, a bit bossy, Velcro and a ride or die dog then Minnie is your dog! Minnie came to DREAM after her family was unable to care for her. She had extensive medical needs that were much needed and over due. DREAM had her spay, brought up to date with vaccines and had to have surgery to remove a number of mammary tumors. Luckily the veterinarian was able to remove the masses and she is expected to enjoy many more years. Minnie is a funny little dog just looking for a human to call her own. She loves snuggling with her humans and demands belly rubs. She’s a sun goddess who relishes a good roll in her back in the sun. Just check out her video! She does ok with other small dogs but really prefers the company of people over canines for companionship. She wants nothing more than her humans adoration, their complete attention and maybe a few snacks 😉 She is house trained and enjoys going for walks and rides in the car. She sleeps in a crate but really loves to nap with her people on the couch or bed. She’s a pro at blanket burrowing. Like many dachshunds, Minnie believes that she calls the shots & grumble if another dog invades her space but she is fickle because she also enjoys cuddling up to other small dogs. Because of this, Minnie would do best in an adult only home. She is devoted to her people and loves both her foster mom and dad fiercely. Minnie announces any new guests when they arrive at the door-read this as “she barks”; but is learning that just a few barks will suffice as an announcement. She is food motivated and she’s a quick study. If you are looking for that classic wiener dog, Minnie is your dog!
If you are interested in adopting Minnie, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Minnie's adoption fee is $700.
All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Minnie will go to his / her new home microchipped, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed.
Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees; we are a non-profit.
DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia.
Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part.
DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back.
